Virat Kohli delivered yet another masterclass, smashing his 54th ODI century during India’s final match against New Zealand in Indore. The iconic batter reached the milestone in 108 balls, showcasing composure and class under pressure.
Kohli topped the series as India’s leading run-getter, registering scores of 93, 24, and 124, underlining his consistency and hunger for runs. However, his heroic effort wasn’t enough as India fell 41 runs short while chasing 338, allowing New Zealand to script history with their first-ever bilateral ODI series win on Indian soil.
Despite the series setback, Kohli’s performance propelled him back to the No. 1 position in the ICC ODI rankings, a feat he achieved after more than four years. The achievement sparked celebrations among fans, even as many expressed disappointment over his upcoming six-month break from international cricket.
Kohli is expected to return to action later this year, with India scheduled to tour Afghanistan in June and England in July. Before that, fans can look forward to seeing him light up the IPL once again with Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where expectations remain sky-high.
As Kohli heads to London for a short break, the cricketing world continues to marvel at his relentless pursuit of excellence and his ability to rise on the biggest stages.
